Patchwork Chevron Quilt Tutorial

I'm very excited to be sharing a modern patchwork quilt tutorial with you today, the Patchwork Chevron! I had a lot of fun working on this quilt! It features giant patchwork half-square triangles and finishes up at 78"x78".

This quilt was inspired by a serious love for patchwork; it just makes everything better! I have loved working with Aneela Hoey's previous fabric collections, and a Walk in the Woods did not disappoint! I had fun showcasing the sweet prints in this quilt!

If you'd like to chain-piece the rows for these 9-patch blocks, you'll need to first separate your squares into two piles: 108 squares and 54 squares. Piece the 108 squares into pairs. Now join each pair with a single square (from the other pile!). This will give you 54 rows that can be pieced into 18 blocks!

5. Now that you've completed your 9-patch blocks, we'll be using them to make half-square triangles! Take
your 14" solid squares and draw a line diagonally from corner to corner
using a ruler and pencil. Do this to all 18 squares.

Ha ha!! I just mentioned that you now have a quilt from each of my lines over on twitter :) Glad to see a little bit of the snowy woods in your pics (good job you didn't come across a fox though :o)Love your quilt!!!!

Just saw the tutorial and love it! I've got a baby to make for ~ she isn't born yet and we are all so excited to have a baby girl in the family! I've got to get going on it, my daughter is expecting soon!

Thanks for the inspiration - I have a 1/2 yard of the entire 'Walk in the Woods' collection. I fell in love with this fabric and purchased it without any idea what I would do with it, but knew I had to have it, so thank you because now I know!

hey jeni was just finishing up this quilt. its an awesome pattern:) i used the ruby line. was curious if i did something wrong or what, when i started sewing the rows together the squares in the blocks didn't match up. Is right or did i do something weird:( the block matched great tho.

Thank you for sharing this super cute pattern!! I used it as inspiration for a baby quilt and love it so much, I'd like to do a queen size ombré-ish pattern for my bed.... But hand quilting is all I've ever done. What kind of machine do you use/recommend?? I dig the doodle pattern!!
